Philippine Embassy: Report Of Marriage

[Anne2014]

When you report your marriage at a Philippine Embassy, a copy of your application and marriage certificate will be sent to the NSO via the Department of Foreign Affairs. You can apply for your official NSO Cerificate of Marriage approximately 3-4 months after filing the report.

I'm not so sure if I'm really getting it. I take it after submitting the report, we have to apply for the certificate? What's the use of making us wait for 1-2 months (posted in their website)? I don't see any information about the 3-4 month time frame.

Hi Everyone
I got married 18 months ago here in UK and reported our marriage at PhiL. Embassy London after two weeks of getting married.I asked my mum in the Philippines to go and get our report of marriage from NSO just three weeks after reporting it here. Luckily, with no problems I got ours quite quickly.

Hello jhen1230.
I just want to make things clear. We weren't informed about getting our report of marriage in the Philippines. We provided a self-addressed envelope for them to return our documents here in Gloucester. It's now over 2 months since we submitted our papers and haven't heard anything from them. I sent an e-mail yesterday and tried to access their website today. Unfortunately, their site is unavailable at the moment. I hope they update it already to avoid misleading people.

In my case, they did returned my documents just two days after I submitted it.What I have received back is one of the report of marriage forms with the Philippine Embassy stamp.
To be honest, Two of my daughters were born overseas and I always report their births to Philippine Embassy and that is how I found out that any reports of marriage and births,you can get it in NSO main office just three weeks after I have reported it.As I am living abroad it was easy for me to ask one of my family members to make a trip at the NSO main office and just check if the report certificate is already there.Luckily,they never wasted the trip,they get the docs the same day.

That was very quick indeed. Well done
Just out of interest what did NSO provide ?
I'm curious about the NSO authentication process

Hi Terpe
The document is the exact copy of the Report of Marriage form that I have filled in at the Philippine Embassy but on a NSO paper.At the bottom it has the name and signature of the Administrator and Civil Registrar General of NSO. It also says Best Possible Image.

That's just what I expected Jhen, thanks for confirming it.
